Ground human worth in the image of the self-existent God, whose rational nature makes science possible, and address suffering with hope through Christ's death and resurrection while engaging others authentically.
Facilitate a thoughtful dialogue on science, faith, and belief through tolerant, public discussion across differing views. Emphasize freedom of thought and respectful exchange without coercion or hostility.
Lennox defines tolerance as accepting those you disagree with, not adopting their values, while Rubin notes conservatives tolerate disagreement more than progressives, and Lennox's story emphasizes equal dignity for all.
Explore the concept of free inquiry amid cancel culture pressures to avoid questions within religious communities and political camps, emphasizing freedom of thought and investigating ideas beyond your current views.
Lennox's upbringing encourages free inquiry, seeking evidence from all sides to avoid dogma, while intellectual humility and the Dunning-Kruger effect show that questioning strengthens Christianity.
Examine how post-christian societies lack foundational standards and default to feelings, and how Christianity provides the foundation for science, human dignity, and rights, with evidence and ongoing investigation.
Two thirds of people believe that science and religion are incompatible according to a recent UK survey, and many of the key atheist voices in our culture have used science as a battering ram against Christian belief.
But there’s a different story to be told about science and faith, and few people better to tell it than John Lennox: Emeritus professor of Mathematics and Philosophy of Science at the University of Oxford.
In this online course, from Premier Unbelievable? and in association with John Templeton Foundation, on Science, Faith and the Evidence for God you’re invited to learn from one of the most celebrated Christian thinkers of our time through his conversations with atheist thinker Michael Ruse and secular talk show host Dave Rubin, hosted by Premier Unbelievable? presenter Justin Brierley.
Across nine modules you’ll discover:
How Christianity grounds the evidence for God
Why Christianity led to the rise of modern science
What response we can give to the question of evil
Whether miracles are anti-scientific
Why atheism and science can’t account for human value
Why Christianity explains the biggest questions our culture is asking.
As well as Justin’s guide to these top flight conversations, the course includes supplementary video material from lectures delivered by John Lennox on God, faith and science along with questions and assignments to help you ground the various learning points in each module.
